2012 WGC Cadillac Championship Betting Preview and Tips, The Blue Monster, Doral, Florida.
odds from betfair
Scanning the odds on Betfair I see Fredrik Jacobson at 140/1. He finished 67, 69 to finish 16 at the Honda last week and I think he could reward a small each way investment at those odds.

odds from betfair
Charl Schwartzel 34/1
It’s nearly green jacket time and Charl Schwartzel is enjoying a welcome return to form just in time. Added another tied fifth at the Honda to his fifth at the Volvo Golf Champions event in Fancourt back in January. His ball striking will be rewarded on some of the easiest greens on Tour this week. Solo second here in 2010 but don’t mention last year to Charl, he bombed out on the Saturday.Tiger Woods 8/1
I hate tipping Tiger but Rory likely to start this event around 5/1 there seems to be a bit more value in Woods. Changed to his old Ping grip last week and said it helped with his release. A final round of 62 on the tough Champions course last week showed that he’s getting to grips with his game again. Tied for tenth last year whilst struggling with his swing but won in Doral three years straight from 2005 to 2007, two of those coming before the event got WGC status.Lee Westwood 15/1
Beginning to find his feet on the PGA Tour with a fourth place finish at the Honda to go with his fourth at the matchplay. The Americans do stats like no other and Lee pops up there third in greens in regulation, second in scrambling and second only to Rory in scoring average. It all suggests a win is coming and he wont get a better chance than on these super flat greens.Hunter Mahan 34/1
Rested and rejuvenated, the latest WGC winner will be itching to get back into competition this week. Gamed the new Ping Nome in the desert and expect to see him drain more putts this week. His ninth place finish here last year probably doesn’t reflect the performance, he lead after two roundsDustin Johnson 34/1
Great to see DJ returning to form after his surgery over the Winter. Top fives at his course Pebble Beach and at tough Riviera and a good run in the desert leave him primed for a tilt at the title this week. Dustin might feel The Blue Monster owes him one after finishing second last year two shots behind Nick Watney.Best Of The Rest
Matt Kuchar 46/1 thought it best to take last week off after a poor Honda showing in 2011 and starts on his fifth PGA Tour event of the season this week. The long odds reflect Kuch’s recent form of mid table mediocrity but he had a good run at the WGC Accenture recently and is a big fan of The Blue Monster having tied third in 2010 and fifth last year. The key for Kuchar is driving accuracy; one good week off the tee and he will contend.Scanning the odds on Betfair I see Fredrik Jacobson at 140/1. He finished 67, 69 to finish 16 at the Honda last week and I think he could reward a small each way investment at those odds.
